*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
John Gorka - Let Them In
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   C    G  
Let them Cin, Peter
They are Gvery tired
Give them Amcouches where the Gangels sleepAm  
And light those Ffires
Let them Cwake whole again
To Gbrand new dawnsAm  
Fired with the Gsun 
Not warFtime's bloody guns
May their Cpeace be deep
Remember Gwhere the broken bodies lie
God Amknows how Gyoung they wereF  
To have to die
God Amknows how Gyoung they wereC  
To have to die
INTERLUDE:   G    Am    G    F    C    G    Am    G    F  
So give them Cthings they like
Let them Gmake some noise
Give Amdance hall bands, not Ggolden harps
To Fthese our boys 
And let them Clove, Peter
'Cause thGey've had no time
They should have Amtrees and bird Gsongs
And Fhills to climb
The taste of Csummer
In a Gripened pear
And Amgirls sweet as Gmeadow windF  
With flowing hair
Tell them Chow they are missed
And Gsay, not to fear
It's gonna Ambe alGrightF  G  
With us down Chere
INTERLUDE:   G    Am    G    F    C    G    Am    F    C    G    Am    G  F  
Let them Cin, Peter

John Gorka - Let Them In

CAPO: 2nd Fret

C G

INTRO:

Let them in, Peter

They are very tired

Am G Am

Give them couches where the angels sleep

And light those fires

Let them wake whole again

G Am

To brand new dawns

Fired with the sun

Not wartime's bloody guns

May their peace be deep

Remember where the broken bodies lie

Am G F

God knows how young they were

To have to die

Am G C

God knows how young they were

To have to die

G Am G F C G Am G F

INTERLUDE:

So give them things they like

Let them make some noise

Am G

Give dance hall bands, not golden harps

To these our boys

And let them love, Peter

'Cause they've had no time

Am G

They should have trees and bird songs

And hills to climb

The taste of summer

In a ripened pear

Am G F

And girls sweet as meadow wind

With flowing hair

Tell them how they are missed

And say, not to fear

Am G F G

It's gonna be alright

With us down here

G Am G F C G Am F C G Am G F

INTERLUDE:

Let them in, Peter
